[2023 NEW] How to Fix HDMI Not Working on Laptop Windows

[@breezytry7783]

hi idk if something is wrong with either of my devices but monitor keeps saying no signal check connection cable and i literally bought it 10 minutes ago and it dosent show a second display id rlly appreciate some help

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! If you have a dedicated graphics card, make sure the monitor is plugged into the GPU's output, not the motherboard’s ports. Make sure to also use the monitor's menu buttons to ensure it's set to the correct input source.

I'll share how I fixed my HDMI port that just decided to stop sending a signal to my secondary monitor... I was watching Invincible on my secondary monitor, walked away and when I finally came back to my laptop, when it woke up, the secondary monitor wouldn't come on. I swapped out cables, power cycled it, rebooted my laptop, updated the graphics drivers. Nothing worked. Then I went to the support page for my laptop, updated the BIOS and then it started working again. It's so bizarre. Oh well, at least it works now!

[@KelvinWaweru-ip5dk]

the BIOS updated also worked for me thanks for this comment

[@utubepunk]

@@KelvinWaweru-ip5dk Sweet! Glad it worked for someone else, too!

[@utubepunk]

It happened again! My HMDI just peaced out. Found an August update for my BIOS. Applied it and now my HDMI port is working again. I guess this is how Dell alerts me of new BIOS updates.😕

[@hugoboss1650]

I solved it by changing the herts (screen refresh rate). First go to 2:33, then click on"Display adapter properties for Display 2" after having selected display 2 on the top right corner. Then go to the monitor section and reduce / play around with the hertz by lowering it. I lowered it to 48 and it suddenly began working. Hope it helps

[@hoang640]

I also change to 30hz and it works. Thank you so much.

[@imhk5m]

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! If you tried all the steps mentioned in the video I would recommend making sure you have the correct display settings enabled that allow duplication of the screen.

[@MustangBazza]

You my friend are a genius, my extended display has not been working since a system update sometime ago and today I thought I would try and look into the problem. I disconnected power and let it rest so that all residual power had diminished, I then unplugged the HDMI cable and plugged it into the second option and BOOM it now works and I just did not think of doing that before watching your video. So I am very grateful for you taking the time to put a very clear and concise video together that has enabled me to enjoy my external screen once more, thank you.

[@sksubzero7719]

Woke up today to my HDMI not working and class to attend, nearly lost it stressing while thinking i messed up my HDMI post. Thanks to your tips it now works. :)

[@miloszlewandowski7042]

Also if anyone is having the same issue like I was on my gaming laptop. All I did is go to Nvidia and reinstalled my drivers and it worked.

[@sumantanwar3473]

Bro but my laptop screen broken someone said install windows 7 to work hdmi cable when I installed it also don't work any suggestions

[@davidhauteville1394]

Switching it on and off??? Is that the best you can offer? How about using your platform to make some serious criticism of the lack of standardisation in the IT industry.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! It's always best to start with the basics did you try all the steps mentioned in the video?

[@DiamondFX-bo9ez]

Mine is working but when I plug in the charger, it stopped working, what's the solution please?

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! If you tried all the steps in the video and nothing worked try going to your power options and select change plan settings and change advanced power settings and verify that nothing is conflicting with your HDMI connection.

[@SplattGang]

After a system update, it’s like it disabled my hdmi port … it doesn’t find a single for a 2nd screen … I’m so mad this happened like damn …

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! First check your display settings under Settings > System > Display, and click "Detect" if the second screen isn’t recognized. Then, try reinstalling or updating your graphics driver through Device Manager by right-clicking your graphics adapter under Display Adapters, selecting Update Driver, or choosing Uninstall Device and restarting your PC to reinstall the driver. Also, test a different HDMI cable and port to rule out hardware issues. If the problem persists, consider rolling back the system update by going to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and selecting Go back to the previous version. Lastly, check your GPU control panel (NVIDIA or AMD) to ensure it recognizes the second display.

[@andrewsoufia2279]

none of them are working for me

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! If you tried all the steps mentioned in the video it might be an issue with the port itself I would recommend taking it to a professional for further assistance.

[@aliel3485]

Hi my laptop dell inspiron 55590was working and it's HDMI port was working yesterday but today it doesn't work

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! First I would recommend checking to make sure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the laptop and external display, and try a different cable or port to rule out hardware problems. Update the display drivers through Device Manager by right-clicking the graphics card under "Display adapters" and selecting "Update driver." If that doesn’t work, uninstall the driver and restart the laptop to reinstall it automatically. Check your display settings by right-clicking the desktop, selecting "Display settings," and ensuring the external monitor is detected. If it's not, click "Detect." Try restarting the laptop with the HDMI cable already connected, and consider resetting the BIOS to default settings by pressing F2 during startup and choosing the reset option.

Hi can u help me? My laptop blacked out suddenly and when i tried to connect it to hdmi to my tv its not detecting it.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! IF you tried all the steps in the video can you provide me with some more information can you turn the laptop on when not plugged into the TYV via hdmi does it still display if it does then its most likely and issue with the port or cable and I would recommend trying a different cable.

[@BlackCat-dm7se]

[@everstpeak_exclusive]

Thanks alot, the issue was from my laptop. I just restarted it.

[@adityanugroho9647]

Well... I DONT KNOW WHY THIS IS WORKING,... at first I told it was so silly to unplug the cable but I tried and it works :))

[@drsteve07]

A simple restart made me feel like an idiot, a grateful idiot. Thanks!

[@aliel3485]

Thank you so much dear ❤

Mine is worse, laptop monitor died due to water damage. The laptop only worked when connected to TV, but not to monitor, even with the same HDMI cable. Tried again today and now the TV isnt connecting. It shows the boot loading screen and then goes blank. But i can hear the computer respond so i know it has successfully booted

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! It's most likely that there is water damage in the port itself as when u spilled on your laptop you should leave it to dry without touching it for a days to make sure all the water has evaporated I would recommend taking it to a professional for further assistance to see if they can fix the issue.

[@johnbutler1778]

Thank your video was very helpful, wasn't picking up any connection to hdmi from laptop to tv after a recent update, I went to Intels website as you advised and installed latest drivers for graphics card and problem solved thanks again!

Hi can you help me my hp laptop screen is cracked so I connected to my tv but I forgot the password what should I do .

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! I would recommend turning off your laptop. then repeatedly press the F11 key as you restart your laptop. Select “Troubleshoot” and then “System Recovery” and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password as part of the factory reset process.

[@AutumnCheese-hu7bo]

thanks bro, this video is very usefull for me.

[@thecatwithoutatail5420]

My laptop screen goes black but nothing show on the other monitor 😭

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! First, ensure secure cable connections between your laptop and the external monitor. Try different cables or ports if needed. Turn off the laptop, disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery (if possible), hold the power button for 15 seconds, then reconnect and turn it on. If none of those work try resetting your graphics drivers.

[@SSHHABBA]

3.43 I can’t do this as the screen is blank with the hdmi connected ? When I unplug then I don’t have a screen to select ? Please gelp

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! If you tried all the steps in the video I would recommend trying to update the display drivers as this can sometimes cause the issue. If that doesn't resolve your issue I would recommend trying a different screen/cable.

So, what if HDMI for example works with Samsung monitor, but doesn't see Dell?

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question. If your HDMI connection works with a Samsung monitor but doesn't display on a Dell monitor, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem: Check HDMI Cable and Connections: Ensure that the HDMI cable is firmly connected to both the computer's HDMI port and the Dell monitor's HDMI input. Try a different HDMI cable to rule out the possibility of a faulty cable. Monitor Input Source: On the Dell monitor, check that the input source is set to HDMI. Many monitors have multiple input options (e.g., HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort), so make sure the correct source is selected. Computer Graphics Settings: Access your computer's display settings to make sure it is set to extend or duplicate the display to the external monitor. On Windows, you can press Win + P to bring up the display mode options and select the appropriate mode (e.g., Duplicate, Extend). On macOS, go to "System Preferences" > "Displays" > "Arrangement" and choose the appropriate display configuration.
